By Innocent Imoh

Ahead the 2019 General Elections, the Association of Katsina State Pensioners has  promised to obtain Governorship Nomination forms for Rt. Hon. Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State as part of its support plan for the governor's second term aspiration.

@katgovmedia reports that the promise was made when the association's leadership visited the Governor, at his office at the Muhammadu Buhari House, the seat of Katsina Government yesterday.

The chairman of the pensioners also appreciated the Masari-led- adminstration for his consideration to the pensioners, adding that none of the 36 states have been taken care of as done in Katsina.

Narrating their relationship with the Governor, the chairman said "we had in 2015 written to all the aspirants of which they all responded; what makes yours unique is the way you have fulfilled them. When we submitted the list of staff, your commitment to constitute the 33% benefits committees, went beyond that which you had settled us all", he said.

He also reminded the Governor on their need for a utility vehicle and further briefed him on their upcoming elections.

Katsina Media and Publicity (KMP) correspondent reports that while responding, the Governor appreciated them and also stated that it is not a privilege to pay them but it is a matter of right.                 Masari noted that it is even religious to repay those who exhausted their youthfulness in serving humanity.

Masari also promised continuous care to the pensioners as all efforts are currently on ground to settle all outstanding entitlements as well as cater for their welfare.
